84. Working, Fighting Loyally

1 Out among the reapers, bearing sheaves away,
In the Master’s vineyard busy ev’ry day;
And with all our hearts we’ll work or we will pray,
For we’re a band of happy, busy Christian workers.

Chorus:
Workers for the Lord are we,
Soldiers we will faithful be
Working, fighting, loyally.
On His strength relying, by His grace we move,
For we belong alone to Christ, our blessed Saviour.

2 Out among the soldiers, fighting for the Lord,
And the sword we carry is His holy word;
Here we stand united fight with one accord,
For we’re a band of happy, loyal Christian soldiers. [Chorus]

3 And where He may need us we will work or fight,
Toiling for His glory, standing for the right;
And the Lord will ever clothe us with His might,
For we belong alone to Christ, our blessed Saviour. [Chorus]
